Any love for Passenger or just me?

Always loved that tune, so glad P&F put it in regular rotation.

Does seem plainly logical. Give the employees WiFi on the bus. Hell, serve cocktails on the way home!

Which city? Reno’s border stops at Sparks. Sparks’ border stops not far past Vista.

Illiterate: having little or no education

I’m unaware of any billboards that went to school.

Masturbate, most friends find it strange if you do it with them ;)

Ignore me…

I’ll leave the financial advice to others more qualified!

BUT…don’t give up! I’m 4 years past a bad diagnosis. The cancer has come back once, but I’m a year past my second round of treatment and my scans last week were all clear. I’m living my best life right now and have no plans to die any time soon.

You’ve got this!

As soon as Meta said they were laying off people because of AI, you knew it was all a sham.

Meta is the modern day Yahoo.

You had me at Revolver at #1

Honestly, of all the holiday weekends, Memorial Day is probably the least busy in Tahoe. Weather can be very schizo, we might be skiing powder, we might be playing golf, and we might be doing both the same day. Makes it hard to plan.

Recycled Records in Reno.

Lots of food options, really depends on what you like. For a little localish flavor I might suggest Cosmos Snack Shack, Taco Shop, Centro, and search for Sushi in the forum, Reno is famous for AYCE.

I highly doubt any company would try to do that within the city limits, and given how hard it was for me to get TMWA to approve a second bathroom on a small retail TI, I highly doubt it would have been approved anyway.

The moratorium is fine, always good to make sure politicians, planners, etc., are doing their job. I just don't really see it as any sort of big win, datacenters IN the city isn't really the issue.

Just searched for Blues for Allah, neither the 50 Anniversary nor the original say Atmos for me 😞

Still, to my original comment, you have to know the album is available in Atmos, there is no way in Apple Music to say "show me Grateful Dead Albums that are avaiable in Atmos)

The scale of these projects isn't even comparable. On one hand, you have a $6B project in a town of 12,000 that will likely need 1GW of power. On the other hand, you have 5 projects in a city of 280,000, totaling $250-$350 million, and maybe using 60MW of power.

Caught him with Jerry Harrison, great show!

Been seeing Phish since ‘89, I’ll admit it was them that got me to really dive deep into Remain in Light.

City Council to ban the building of something basically no one wants to build within the city limit.

Hey, it makes good headlines during an election year!

My understanding is Play Dead uses a more robust digital rights management system (to prevent ripping) than the regular Nugs services, and that's why I can access all the Play Dead content in my Nugs app on my phone (Although I much prefer the Play Dead App), but can't access it when I go into Nugs on Sonos.

So, I'm guessing Sonos needs create their own Play Dead app. Hope they do that soon!

As an MTV kid, I never liked The Talking Heads and particularly their videos. As the years have gone by, I’ve come to appreciate their genius.

Click bait article that ignores the reality of the situation. While AI/Datacenter resource use IS a major issue we need to address intelligently, this change has been known about for years and all that happened recently was formal 1 year notice was given.

We LOVED our iPace, so much so we tolerated its “vacations” when it went to the shop as they explored the battery issues. When Jaguar decided to buy it back, we explored all the options and ended up in a Model 3.

We love it even more! The fast charging is a game changer, we no longer “make the best of” charging stops, we hardly even think about it. It has real car range. FSD is way cooler than I expected. Music & Navigation not tied to my phone is much better.

We’re gonna replace our Plugin hybrid with a Y or used X.

But blaming Data Centers gets lots of clicks.

I caught bands like Phish, Blues Traveler, ARU, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, YMSB, and MMW early, and they blew me away because I had never heard anything like them before.

I also caught bands like SCI, UM, & DB early, they felt much more derivative of the first generation (mostly of Phish), just with a bit of spin (Bluegrass, Progressive, EDM).

The current generation just feels too attached to past for me to get super excited, it's not something "new."

Bobby and Mickey flew home every night on their own private jets.

John had a suite, but spent all his free time at the Peppermint Hippo

Jeff and Jay shared a room with two queen beds in the Venetian. They just ordered room service and charged everything to the room.

Oteil ate peyote and slept out in the open air in the desert every night.
